If added solute remains at the bottom of a solution, what does it usually indicate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The solution may be saturated
If solid solute remains after adequate mixing and time, the liquid may already contain the maximum amount that can dissolve at that temperature. The remaining solid is evidence consistent with saturation, though slow dissolution or poor contact should also be excluded experimentally. Thus A is the best answer; the other choices are unrelated.
